Vent - thank gosh for nurses, but make sure you have support or advocacy with treatment

You have to wonder sometimes.
I know young doctors are under an immense amount of pressures and the senior ones can be dictatorial without being prescriptive, so it's really no surprise that shit like this happens. Or could happen if there isn't some sort of cop on the beat who puts a stop to things that even a lay person would see as unreasonable.
Your Mum is lucky to have you watching out for her. Keep up the good work.
